Chapter 31: Hearing You Out

Okay. PANIC! Shane's here. Inside my room. What am I going to do?!

Okay. What now Shane? Why did you freaking gave in to your sister's plan?! So… ugh! Whatever! Come what may…

"Mitchie… please let's talk." Shane pleaded.

Mitchie just stood there not looking at him, crossing her arms across her chest and tapping her foot thinking of what to say. "I don't want to see you… I don't want to talk to you… I have nothing more to say to you…"

Shane then went to her and stopped her from kicking him out of the room. "Mitchie, please. After we talk, and you still don't want to see me anymore, I will leave you alone. I will never go after you again. I will leave the country forever, I will go back to Santorini if that is what you want."

Mitchie faced him and said, "You'll go back to Santorini? You'll just stay there? Fine! So what is your point Shane? Huh?"

"Kostas and I talked that night. He was miserable Mitch. He and Lena broke up. And like him, and all those other guys that I know who gave up everything for love, lost." Shane told her sadly.

Mitchie crossed the room and opened the bottle of wine that the room service brought. Then Shane continued, "You know what? Kostas was right. You don't belong to yourself anymore once you love someone because you will give your life to that person. That love will change you, all of you until nothing about you is left."

Then Shane walked to her and continued, "But it's okay… it's really okay if that person whom you love, loves you back too, the same way you are loving him or her until the end. But we don't have an assurance of happy endings right? I mean, look at Lynette, my brother, and my younger sister… all of them gave everything for love, but look at also what happened? They were left by those ones whom they thought loved them."

"So you mean, if we had a real relationship, that I will just leave you? Huh? Is that what you are saying Shane?" Mitchie retorted.

"I'm saying is that, you'll try to change me Mitch. You'll transform me to that person that you like. To someone who is perfect. But I can't be perfect Mitch. I can't do that."

"Weren't you the one who told me that I am human? That I am not perfect. So why would I look for someone perfect. Maybe I'm just looking for Mr. Right." Mitchie said, she was crying her heart out now. Tears were starting to well down her pretty face.

"I can't do that too, Mitch. From the very start, I was already wrong before your eyes. I was already wrong even before we haven't met. I was wrong since I broke the hearts of your friends."

"Damnit Shane!" Mitchie called and pushed him. "Damnit! I can only take a little shit from you… My turn… tell me, honestly. If you got scared and you can't do it, then why are you here Shane? Why did you come back?"

"Because I'm stupid okay! I'm stupid to let you go!" Shane called

"Why did you come back Shane?" Mitchie called again. She is not satisfied with what Shane was claiming as his answer.

"When I didn't came for you that night, I saw everything. I felt everything that I am going to feel when I made the choice of letting you go. And I felt hurt and hatred."

"Why. Are. You. Here. Shane?"

"I am afraid of the misery and hurt that will forever haunt me Mitchie."

"Shane! Why are you here?" Mitchie called now more tears were streaming down her eyes

"I want to be with you Mitch. You are the one who could make me breathe again."

"Shane! You can't even answer me straightforward! I just needed those three words! And you can't even say it!" Mitchie called and turned her back from him. "Get out!"

"Mitchie, give me another chance please!" Shane went to her but she pushed him away.

"You had your chance and you blew it!" Mitchie called. "Get out! Or I'll call security!"

Shane felt like the entire world fell before him. "I'm sorry…" he whispered as he left the room and out of Mitchie's life.
